is not welcomed by the afghan government positions increasingly fragile and with the strengthening taliban insurgency let's talk to ali rosenberg he's a university of sussex he writes for the daily political blog hi there thanks for being with us just days before these talks a senior white house advisor now it's washington is now considering this idea of maybe a complete withdrawal in twenty forty what kind of message is that sending ahead of these negotiations. but unfortunately not a very good one but i think that has as much to do with obama's domestic pressures as it does with the considerations for what might be best in afghanistan and i think that the obama administration does not work very well with karzai they find him corrupt and ineffectual additionally they have very little domestic political incentive to continue pushing the war the american population is pretty tired of it and in truth obama really could use that money to do a lot of other things that our highest priority list so i start no carry on carry on i mean i will say how persuasive his cause i like to the bay that whe

under welcomed by the afghan government whose position is increasingly fragile amid the strengthening taliban insurgency but general raw politics professor of all new york university says it's no one's interest for the u.s. forces to leave right away. there's a lot of talk about not leaving any troops there at all however i don't think the u.s. can afford that leader in the region because there are still quite a bit of violence going on on there so i think the president will probably leave some troops there first on top but i would assume that president karzai is going to want that out because it gives him more. or it makes him look more powerful on the negotiating table and within the context of his own constituents however he also needs some protection so it will be a little bit of a catch twenty two situation for that i think probably hopes to achieve a few things one is continued military support for the afghan troops so they can maintain their own military or army if you will and the second has. continued. monetary support and some development efforts there. this man may not have the boy
